So what has been going on at 62 MOntague Street - who knows for sure. The week before Christmas was a little stressful sleeping on air beds and seeing very little progress. The contractor assures us this is usual as they are at the finishing touches.
Jon is over the moon as the B&O TV has at least been installed in the den so we have been able to watch a couple of movies.
Friday last week was somewhat chaotic. The movers arrived with all our stuff, which doesn't seem that much anymore - not least as they seem to have lost a couple of boxes in the process - it is a nuisance, but to be honest to be expected I suppose. Overall the movers were fantastic and anyone in NYC reading this I would highly recommend them. At the same time the stair guys were still trying to finish up the stairs.
A little bit of fun to the day was when Hippo was returned to us from the first floor - because all the front doors were open she took herself on a small perambulation down the internal stairs to the bottom of the building - thankfully the main front door was not open.
Chris also arrived in the midst of everything, so we then packed up our stuff and headed up to Vermont. Lousy drive on the Friday before Christmas. Arrived well to meet up with the rest of the Short family.
We asked for a white Christmas and we got it - hurrah - been having a lot of fun on the ski slopes. Last night braved the elements - 18" of snow in less than 24 hours - to head to SOLO for Chris' birthday celebration.
So no photos of the flat but some of the snow:
